The president of the united states gave control of a department to guy that did a Nazi salute. Stop your whataboutism, its not remotely the same.

Counterpoint, aluminum is bad for you, anti-persperaint is hard to clean off your body and cloths, humans are allowed to smell a little. As long as you're not smelling like a highschool gym and shower regularly and after exercise, a light application of deodorant should be plenty for the majority of adults.

Except every car I've ever seen it implemented in malfunctions 1000 times more than it ever works properly. I always signal and find lane departure to be incredibly dangerous. If you trust your cars algorithm more than your own eyes, I don't trust you on the road.

100℅ this. Lane departure seems far more dangerous on than off.

The problem with some of these "safety" features is they malfunction at such a high rate they seem more likely to kill me than save my life. They also don't anticipate future consequence in any way.

The collision detection malfunctions regularly giving a loud beep or applying breaks when nothing is ahead.

The lane departure does not understand situations where you had someone wander into your lane and you may drive onto the shoulder quickly before signalling. I don't need my car fighting me while im making the correct call. I also think having the car take over, even gently, is so startling that it could cause the accident it was meant to prevent. If I'm startled I might over correct and lose control. While that has never happened, with everything considered, it seems safer to leave some of these features off.

I don't need to be an early adopter on flawed technology that could get me killed.

My car has micro wires in the front window, smaller than the ones in the back. Maybe it refers to this?

Yes, just what aurora app store detects loaded in the app.

YouTube just has google firebase analytics (which I also don't want)

You must be oblivious if you think this isn't already happening. The us left wing is more organized than any time since the robber barons. Why do you think the right is fear mongering and getting more aggressive every day. Unions are on the rise, community signal chats, parallel system, all happening. None of that is a magic wand. People are still holding their breath, because if the left makes the first move, the fascists will certainly use it as an excuse to end elections. What you are drooling for is violence, which will only make things worse.

I live in the Midwest and there are busy Indian restaurants everywhere. The twin cities and Chicago both have some of the more diverse food scenes per capita in the country.

Broccoli, grapefruit, swiss chard
